Chapter 17

Due to the distance and the back view, Zhou Xiaoxiao could only see a person’s figure. There were bags of fruits and vegetables in his hand.

“Xiaoxiao, Chief Zhang wants you to go back to the police station to write a report!”

Just as Zhou Xiaoxiao stood rooted to the ground and looked in the direction of the first door of the mall in confusion, she heard her colleague calling her from behind. She did not think too much about it and shook her head as she got into the police car.

This was because she saw that ever since that person came out of Gate 1, the other citizens seemed to have realized that the crisis had been resolved. They followed closely behind and left the mall through Gate 1.

“I have to finish my work report as soon as possible when I get back. Then, I have to sort out the situation at that time. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if I’m misunderstood…”

With this thought in mind, Zhou Xiaoxiao began to recall the scenes of subduing the robber. She was even more confused.

…

At this moment,

At the entrance of the first door of the mall, Su Yun had just walked out of the mall with the supplies he had bought when he saw that the square was filled with police officers. His footsteps paused slightly.

When he was in the mall, he knew that the crisis outside had been resolved, so he dared to walk through this door. However, he did not expect the commotion outside to be so huge.

After watching the commotion for a while, Su Yun looked at the sky and quickly left Yida Square.

It was getting late. He was still thinking about his promise to his netizens and had to hurry home to start the livestream.

He rode the electric scooter and went straight home.

The first thing Su Yun did when he got home was to start the livestream.

After preparing the poker cards, Su Yun opened the Sharkfight Streaming Platform.

Su Yun casually glanced at some popular livestreams on the platform’s same city channel and found that many of the titles were related to the policewoman and the robber.

Su Yun did not think too much about it and started his livestream with proficiency.

[The streamer has started the livestream. Hurry up and watch!]

Immediately, the livestream platform’s livestream notification was sent to all the fans who followed Su Yun.

Su Yun eagerly picked up the poker cards and prepared to look for the lingering charm left behind by the special state not long ago.

Su Yun threw his cards as usual.

After trying a few times, he felt more and more familiar with it, as if he had suddenly touched something.

He raised his hand and shot out.

Pah!

The poker card stabbed into the wooden stake’s outer layer and stopped steadily on the wooden stake.

“It’s done?”

Su Yun adjusted his condition again and threw out a few more poker cards.

—Bang, bang, bang!

A few poker cards cut through the resistance of the air with a swoosh. With a bang, they pierced into the wood and embedded themselves firmly into the wooden stake.

The success rate was 100%!

“It really worked!”

One had to know that before he went out today, Su Yun had trained hard for more than half a day. He could barely make ten cards and had only succeeded five to six times.

Even so, he still had to accumulate power for half a day and prepare for a long time before he could succeed. He could not do whatever he wanted at all.

However, this time, thanks to the robber, after entering that mysterious special state again, he seemed to have completely mastered it. Even if he did not enter the special state, he could 100% embed the card into the soft wooden stake. Moreover, there was no need to adjust his state. He could do it casually!

This was equivalent to stabilizing the might and technique and completely mastering it.

Of course, the power of the card should not be comparable to when he entered the mysterious special state, but no matter what, this was obviously a leap in nature.

For a moment, Su Yun was overjoyed. He threw some more to confirm again.

After confirming that there were no mistakes, Su Yun wanted to see the reactions of the netizens on the bullet screen.

[Number of online users: 27]

Hm?

Looking at the only 27 people, Su Yun was a little puzzled.

There were clearly more than a thousand people in the afternoon, so why were there so many fewer viewers when it was the golden hour of livestreaming?

Looking at the empty bullet screen, Su Yun felt a little disappointed.

The only 27 people seemed to be the ‘dead fish’ in the livestream.

“Looks like no one saw it.”

With a long sigh, Su Yun perked up again.

Although the netizens did not see it, he had experienced it for himself.

This made him even more certain of his guess.

The mysterious feeling from before was of great help to him!

Moreover, it could instantly increase one’s essence, qi, and spirit, and even increase the power of the card.

Could he master this state?

At the thought of this, Su Yun suddenly had an idea. Perhaps he was not the only one who had come into contact with this power.

In any case, there were no real viewers in the livestream at the moment. Su Yun put up the bullet screen that said, “The streamer will be leaving for a while and will be back soon.”

He turned off the camera and popped up the search page.

After some thought, he typed in:

[My state of mind is clear, my strength has increased drastically, and my perception has advanced. What is this state? What’s the reason?]

Soon, the webpage changed and listed a lot of relevant information.

Su Yun quickly scanned through it and realized that it was almost speechless.

“About what happened to my state of mind after watching Japanese porn on my phone…”

“Eating this plant can increase one’s strength. It’s said that this plant is very expensive. It costs as much as 500 grams per catty. One kilogram is 1,000 grams…”

Su Yun’s head hurt when he saw this. He thought to himself, “What the hell is this?”

Therefore, he deleted these keywords and continued to try to find the answer he wanted.

Not long after, he saw something that piqued his interest on a Tieba post.

The post was about people all over the world. Due to some sudden and urgent situations, some people actually did something unbelievable.

For example, on a certain road, a little girl’s legs were pressed under a car that weighed several tons. In his grief and indignation, her father actually lifted the car alone to save his daughter…

Or a man from somewhere caught a child who fell from a high altitude with his bare hands. Both parties were unharmed…

Events like this all showed that humans could activate unprecedented power at a certain moment.

There were many similar “Superman” incidents in real life, and they were all recorded in the post by this friend.

After carefully grinding the other party’s post, Su Yun fell into deep thought.

“Human potential? This is a little similar to my situation, but it’s completely different!”

Su Yun knew very well that he did not display shocking strength because someone or something had stimulated his strong desire.

Instead, under a special and unknown condition, he suddenly entered a magical state.

Moreover, his current state was different from the potential of the human body. This was because he did not instantly erupt with any power to stimulate his potential. Instead, he had entered some kind of mysterious domain.

Therefore, the content recorded in the post gave him inspiration, but it also made him realize that his state was completely different from the potential of the human body.

Therefore, he changed the keyword and began to trace the target to ancient books.

Suddenly, he saw that in the ancient book, the Analects of Confucius, there was a sentence that caught his interest. “Since you are mortal, you are holy. You are supernatural.”

“Transcend the mortal world, transcend the ordinary…”

Muttering, Su Yun felt that he seemed to have found the right path. There seemed to be some records of strange people in the ancient books that were related to him.

Suddenly,

Su Yun’s eyes widened!

He saw a certain ‘state’ described in an ancient book that was very similar to his.

—Taoist Mysterious Book, “The Secret of the Golden Flower”

The book specifically mentioned the path of cultivation. Although there were all kinds of explanations from later generations, Su Yun had a different understanding.

“Peace reveals the Heavenly Heart, and the natural deity arrives.”

It meant that by calming down and meditating, one’s mind would become clear and enter a high-level state, allowing one to spy on the secrets of the heavens.

It was very mysterious.

The book also mentioned a secret technique called Turning Light. There were three cultivation realms in it.

They were golden efflorescence blooming, the release of the golden flower, and the great stabilization of the golden flower!

The golden efflorescence blooming was reflected in the sublimation of the human body’s hearing. It could listen to the ethereal sounds of everything around it. It was empty and long, making one feel refreshed.

The release of the golden flower was the transcendence of the human body’s vision. When one reached this realm, it was as if everything was silent. The bright moon rose high, and the sky was filled with gentle golden light. At the same time that one’s body and mind were happy, the scene in front of them turned white. The surroundings were filled with white fog, and one could see through the essence of matter.

The great stabilization of the golden flower was the most mysterious. Simply put, it was like a divine turtle holding up the sky. The magical feeling of the Primordial Spirit leaving the body, being able to sense and control all things. One could travel freely between heaven and earth and be at ease…

Upon seeing this, Su Yun was shocked.

When he was at Yida Square this afternoon, he was in the state of the release of the golden flower for a moment.

Thinking about it carefully, it was very similar to the description in the book.

With excitement in his heart, Su Yun focused his attention on this Daoist novel, The Secret of the Golden Flower.

The more he understood, the more Su Yun realized a huge problem!

The book is defined as a Daoist philosophical thought book, commonly known as theoretical existence, and is not documentary.

“How can it be a theoretical thought? Then what did I comprehend?”

With deep doubts, Su Yun realized that this theory was not groundless.

—Author of Secret of the Golden Flower: Lü Dongbin!

“Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals of folklore?”

Suddenly, Su Yun saw such a record in an unknown random journal.

When Ancestor Lü was resting on the peak of the mountain, he had a sudden inspiration. With a single step, the golden splendor stabilized and he saw the Heavenly Gate. The immortal palace was fleeting. It was just a glimpse and it was difficult for him to enter the Dao. After studying it for a few years, he wrote the Secret of the Golden Flower. After that, he preached leisurely and disappeared into the dust without a trace…

“Even Ancestor Lü disappeared in the blink of an eye and never felt anything for the rest of his life? Is that the same state as what I comprehended?”

Su Yun was eager to know the answer. After browsing through some articles online, he became more and more fascinated.

“Eh? Why are there only fragments? Why isn’t there a complete book?”

Su Yun found that the Internet was filled with incomplete excerpts, which puzzled him.

In the end, he had no choice but to give up. He planned to go to the largest library in Hibiscus City another day to see if there were any complete books.

Of course, Su Yun was not looking for the original book. Most of the time, he could not count on it. He only wanted to have a copy of it.

“Well …”

Moreover, Su Yun suddenly felt that it was awkward to talk about the mysterious state every time. He thought that he might as well give it a name.

“This feeling is not something ordinary people have. It’s very rare. I’ve only encountered it twice in a few days…”

Su Yun felt that it was inappropriate for him to think like this. It was a little like bragging.

“It’s like a special sense of detachment, or an epiphany in a fantasy novel.”

“It seems that ordinary people can’t easily reach this state. At most, they can stimulate some of the potential of the human body, but it’s far from reaching the level of entering a mysterious state. It seems that this should be very difficult and rare.”

“And the saints say that it’s supernatural…”

“Then let’s call it the Extraordinary State!”
